The Three Kingdoms: Steamed Buns and Pickled Cabbage, I Became the Emperor

Chapter 70 Jiangdu County is a scene of great governance
Guangling County, Guangling City.

Watching the 40,000 to 50,000 disaster victims outside the city heading towards Jiangdu County in a mighty manner.

Zhang Chao, Zhang Jun and Zang Hong on the city wall were powerless and could only sigh in frustration.

"This damn Yellow Turban bandit!"

"Damn Ye Chen!"

Zhang Chao, who had managed to escape, looked at the migrating group of disaster victims and said with gritted teeth.

Zhang Jun on the other side had red eyes and veins throbbing on his forehead.

Until now, he had never thought about it.

They were actually defeated by the Yellow Turban Army, a group of ragtag soldiers.

Originally, Ye Chen was just a member of a small group of rebels hiding in Camel Mountain.

He has no more than a thousand soldiers under his command.

Who would have thought.

After taking Jiangdu County, they gathered in refugees and victims of disasters.

He actually had 14,000 soldiers under his command.

Now, the number of people under his command exceeds 400,000.

If the other party is cruel.

It is definitely possible to mobilize 40,000 troops in a short period of time.

Such strength is far beyond that of a county governor.

Now, on the surface, Zhang Chao is the biggest local emperor in Guangling County.

In terms of strength.

Ye Chen is the Yellow Turban bandit.

If it is allowed to develop.

From now on, the Yellow Turban bandits will have the final say in Guangling County.

at this time.

In the military camp on the other side.

"See my lord!"

Cheng Yu and Zhao Yun finally reunited with Ye Chen.

Ye Chen looked at Cheng Yu who bowed to him, and hurried forward to help him up.

"Thank you for your hard work during this period, Mr. Zhongde!"

He has been away for at least half a year this time.

The great development of Jiangdu County is all thanks to Cheng Yu.

otherwise.

The points in your own reputation system will not accumulate tens of millions of reputation points in a short period of time.

"Haha, my lord, this is serious!"

"Managing Jiangdu County well is my responsibility."

"Why talk about hard work?"

"Mr. Zhongde is too modest!"

Ye Chen also smiled and pulled Cheng Yu towards the camp gate.

Behind him, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei and Xu Chu followed closely.

After a while.

In the tent.

"My lord, we have received news from spies."

"Although Zhang Chao has returned to Guangling City, he is still recruiting soldiers in private."

"And contact the counties under Guangling County to send troops and food!"

"I'm afraid he will lead his troops to attack again in the near future."

Cheng Yu reported in a deep voice.

The previous battle.

Although Ye Chen defeated Zhang Chao's 10,000 troops.

But Zhang Jun's 10,000 troops did not suffer much loss.

In addition, Zhang Chao was the prefect of Guangling County.

It only takes a matter of time to restore your strength.

In the previous battle, at most Zhang Chao was repelled but not killed.

I believe there will be a series of major battles in the future.

of course.

It is also very simple to completely solve the problem.

Captured Guangling City and killed Zhang Chao.

But the walls of Guangling were strong, and it was not realistic for them to take them down.

and.

If we attack rashly, other counties will come to support us.

But it really dragged Ye Chen and the others into the quagmire.

"My lord, we need to make plans early."

Cheng Yu finished telling the information he knew so far.

Then he sat aside, silent.

Waiting for Ye Chen’s final decision.

Ye Chen groaned for a moment and pondered secretly.

Given the current situation, this battle will have to be fought sooner or later.

Whoever wins will own Guangling County from now on.

It can be said that he and Zhang Chao are already mortal enemies.

Next, it is time to shift our focus beyond Jiangdu County and look at Guangling County.

"Zilong, what is the current situation of our army?" Ye Chen sat in the top position, thought for a moment, and looked at Zhao Yun below.

"My lord, we only have 6000 soldiers capable of fighting, including 2000 new recruits and surrendered soldiers!"

Zhao Yun reported it immediately.

The previous battle.

Although they won in the end.

But the losses were also heavy.

There were nearly two thousand people killed in the battle alone.

The number of injured people reached as high as 3000.

Hearing about the current military strength at hand.

Ye Chen also felt a headache.

With more than 10,000 people under his command now.

It is obviously impossible to launch an attack.

"Let's go back to Jiangdu County and rest for now!"

Ye Chen weighed the pros and cons for a while and finally decided.

The two armies fought and the soldiers were exhausted.

At this time, if we want to take the initiative to attack Ji Zhangchao.

In the end, the cost outweighs the gain, and it only results in additional casualties.

Taking advantage of Zhang Chao's recent defeat, he did not dare to attack.

The most appropriate option at the moment is for them to go back and rest for a while.

And there's one more thing.

Now, among the 40,000 to 50,000 disaster victims, Ye Chen only recruited 4,000 soldiers.

With the newly upgraded reputation mall.

The types and quantities of meals he could provide were also greater.

It will be convenient for further expansion of the army.

After hearing Ye Chen's final decision, Cheng Yu nodded secretly.

to be frank.

He also thought it was best to do so.

And Ye Chen's decision made him very pleased.

At least it illustrates one problem.

Our lord was not carried away by the victory in front of him.

If one wants to dominate the world, a small governor of Guangling County is nothing more than a scenery on the road.

It’s far from the end.

Ye Chen’s real opponent in the future.

It was Yuan Benchu, a man who had been a minister for four generations.

It was Gongsun Zan who occupied Youzhou.

These two people.

One now occupies Jizhou, and the other occupies Youzhou.

With strong soldiers and powerful horses, he is the overlord among many princes.

Today, Ye Chen is not even qualified to be their opponent.

The wisest strategy is to stay calm and develop first.

Gradually expand your strength.

First stabilize Jiangdu County, and then plan to take Guangling County.

Next, the troops advanced into Xuzhou and Yangzhou.

Only by bringing together Xu and Yang, would he be qualified to compete with Yuan Shao and others.

With Ye Chen's final decision, the army began to march towards Jiangdu County.

The surrendered Zhao Zhifeng was also taken to Jiangdu County by Ye Chen.

In the first year of Chuping, in the middle of July, Guangling County, Jiangdu County.

"Dad, I see that the people here are honest and simple. They don't pick up things on the road and they don't lock their doors at night."

"It seems like a peaceful and prosperous world!"

Cai Yong took Cai Wenji and traveled around Jiangdu County.

Looking at the people under Ye Chen's rule, not only do they all have enough food to eat, but everyone's face is always filled with a happy smile.

After the river channel outside the city was widened last winter, Jiangdu County was basically not affected by the disaster this year.

The people worked in the fields.

If your family is really in financial difficulty, you can get free corn porridge at the city gate.

It can be said that throughout Jiangdu County, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and everyone is healthy, it is simply like a paradise.

This kind of scene is extremely rare in today's chaotic world.

"I didn't expect that!"

"A Yellow Turban rebel was able to manage Jiangdu County in an orderly manner and even make it so prosperous."

"It really makes all the officials of the Han Dynasty ashamed!"

Hearing what his daughter said, Cai Yong nodded sincerely.

The father and daughter knew this shortly after arriving in Jiangdu County.

Who exactly is the person who kidnapped them?

It was the Yellow Turban Army’s Xiaofangqu commander, Ye Chen.

But even if they knew, they had no way to escape.

I can only settle down here with peace of mind.

They have also seen a lot of things during this period.
